AEFJN 25th Jubilee

AEFJN is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year with various thanksgiving events. Most of our Antennae have scheduled a set of activities, round tables, cine forums and thanksgiving Masses to celebrate an experience of grace. AEFJN gives thanks for the past but wants this celebration to be a renewal of our commitment to economic justice for Africa and its people. Jesus of Nazareth emphasises the fact that salvation is for everyone –the oppressed, the captives, the poor, the weak - everybody from every nation.
